Letter from William Loeb to William D’Alton Mann

Subject(s): Books, Gifts, Hampton, Kate Phelan, 1856-1923, Presidents--Portraits, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919, Unauthorized use

On behalf of President Roosevelt, William Loeb acknowledges receiving Colonel Mann’s letter about the book Fads and Fancies. Roosevelt, however, cannot accept the book because, as Kate Phelan Hampton has stated, he did not authorize the use of his picture for the book, of which he was unaware. Loeb, then, must decline and return the book on the President’s behalf.
